New Bravo Show: Real Housewives of Potomac

One potential housewife has a small business in Potomac, is married with kids, but her husband's story is a little (a lot) suspect (DC club scene / money / tax issues) and I don't know that they'd want the wife to become a full-time cast member because of what can (and likely will) come out about him. I know they were initially very worried about how it would affect their kids and what would be said to them by friends and classmates. I believe that no matter what, she was slated to be a "friend of a housewife" this coming season, but they may revisit and see if her husband is okay with a bigger role. From what I know of her personally, the small biz angle in Potomac would be cute but the rest of her life is really focused on the club scene and I don't know that it would work with the overall vibe of the show having her as a full-time housewife.

The other potential housewife is single, so not really a "housewife" but she brings the young, fun dynamic into the picture and she's another local biz owner so that's another angle that can be worked in. She's also a Potomac girl through and through, with money of her own, and her parents are Potomac residents with quite a bit of money, so she technically fits the part better than any of the other cast members right now. She's also friends with two of the housewives, has bad blood with another housewife, and is the little-bit-messy-type in that she doesn't hold her tongue so you will get some interesting dialogue from her. Plot twist with her is that she was about to relocate to Malibu on a full-time basis, but the day it was announced that Katie wouldn't be returning, this girl put a stop on her plans to move and I believe is headed back to Potomac this week. Maybe to take part in taping?

I'm pretty sure many on here know of, or have at least heard of, one of the two. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out.

Marc Barnes?

That name is taking me back to the Love/Dream days....

^^ From that article: "Bravo, said this source, wants to find out if RHOP can “stand on its own,” without a carry-over audience boost from the well established Atlanta show."

I doubt it. In reality it's boring, I think it's interesting to us because of the familiar locations and it's close to home so that makes it somewhat intriguing. If I lived anywhere else I don't think I would be tuning in at all.

To the PP who posted this - why are you copying MY posts from Lipstick Alley and sharing them on DCUM as your own?! What is wrong with you?! None of this info is your own. And no, to those asking, my post is not about Marc Barnes. And no, I won't share the details here. Want to be in the know? Go join Lipstick Alley to see names and my posts in real time. Not just the ones stolen by this DCUM idiot.

+1

I only watched RHOP and DC b/c they were local. Other than that, the "drama" is dull and ridiculous.
